"No force can have only one faction. When they come here and find that someone has taken away the spiritual offerings in advance, they will only suspect their own people. After all, this kind of secret method is not something that everyone can simulate! Otherwise, how could the ancient descendants dominate the starry sky for endless years?" Yu Kai's tone was full of confidence.
"That's the territory of the Three Emperors. I'll go with you!" There was a hint of worry in Xuan'er's tone, and she was obviously worried about Yu Kai.
Yu Kai smiled slightly and patted her small hand: "Don't worry, I will go there with great fanfare and let them know that the 'God's messenger' of the ancient descendants has arrived. Eat their food and drink their drinks, and then 'slaughter' them well! It would be even better if I could leave some breath of the ancient descendants and cause them to fight among themselves." A sly smile appeared on his face, as if he had already thought of how to stir up trouble.
Li Dong and the others pondered for a moment, feeling that Yu Kai's method might indeed be feasible. If they could repair the imperial capital's dragon veins, their cultivation would accelerate. After all, spirit crystals were an indispensable resource for cultivators. With this in mind, Li Dong nodded, "Then we will do as Your Majesty wishes, but please be careful."
"Are you just going to let these scum of the Danxiao Sect go?" Luo Shunli's gaze was like a knife, staring at the six Danxiao elders, his face filled with murderous intent. He had nearly died from their schemes several times, and now he was reluctant to let them go.
"Xuan'er has already planted the slave mark on them, and it will be difficult for them to turn over a new leaf." Yu Kai said in a deep voice, "Those who have done evil things, you should investigate them and arrest them without hesitation. They will not dare to intervene anymore, and everything will be handled according to the law!" His tone was firm, and his eyes revealed a trace of unquestionableness, "The customs of the Shengying Dynasty must be changed!"
"Thank you, Your Majesty, for your support!" Luo Shunli bowed respectfully, his heart full of gratitude and respect.
"You all go and get busy! I'll stay in Danxiao Sect for a few days and then go to the Three Emperors." Yu Kai felt that everything was almost arranged, so he ordered them to leave.
"We shall take our leave!" Li Dong and his companions bowed respectfully and walked out. As they left, the imperial guards surrounding them also dispersed.
Looking at their backs, Xie Tuan and the others admired their Grand Elder. "Our Grand Elder is truly amazing. He was able to handle such a big issue!"
"Yes, even Prime Minister Li Dong, a powerful emperor, returned empty-handed! It's a great honor for our Danxiao Sect!" someone echoed.
"That's right, that's right. When we go out in the future, won't we be even more powerful?" Some disciples have begun to imagine the future.
However, Lu Jiuxiao's voice rang out at this moment: "Any disciples or elders who have done anything harmful to the world in Danxiao Sect should go to the Ministry of Justice and confess their crimes. Do not wait for them to come and arrest you. The Danxiao Sect will not protect you for your mistakes, and will expel you from the sect!"
"What? Are we compromising?" some elders and disciples exclaimed.
"Do you have any solution other than compromise? The one coming now is Prime Minister Li Dong, and next time maybe it will be His Majesty himself who will visit!" someone said unwillingly.
"Fortunately, I have always enforced the law impartially and have never done anything harmful to the world!" Some people were glad that they did not go along with them and were secretly happy.
Over the next few days, Yu Kai took Xuan'er on a variety of outings, even making her toys and sweets from Earth. Each one dazzled Xuan'er, and while she was delighted, she also felt a pang of sadness. She knew Yu Kai would be leaving soon, and she would have to face everything alone.
On this day, the Iron-Blooded War King Nie Wuhen brought news that the subordinates of Emperor Fennan and Emperor Youming were secretly transferring spirit crystals to the Eastern Region of Emperor Qingwu. The three emperors had gathered together and it seemed that something big was going to happen.
"Could it be that the people from the ancient clan have arrived early?" Xuan'er looked at Yu Kai, her eyes full of worry.
"No, I have to go over and see what's going on. If I really let them take the spirit crystal away, it will be too late to regret it." Yu Kai immediately became serious.
"I'll go with you. What if they are targeting you? I can take care of you!" Xuan'er pulled his arm with a firm look in her eyes.
"Don't worry, I still have Zixiao in my soul sea, so nothing will happen. Just wait for me to come back. What if they make a feint to the east and attack the west, and launch a surprise attack on the Shengying Dynasty?" Yu Kai patted her little hand gently, motioning her to let go.
"Then you must be careful!" Xuan'er held his hand tightly, her eyes full of concern and worry.
Yu Kai nodded slightly, not daring to delay even a moment. With a flicker of his body, he transformed into a streak of light, instantly vanishing from view. During his flight, he quietly transformed into Zhang Qiming's appearance, feeling vaguely that Zhang Qiming's status among the ancient descendants must be high, and perhaps this would make his journey somewhat easier.
After several days of trekking, Yu Kai finally arrived in the Eastern Region aboard the small warship Lu Jiuxiao had prepared for him. During this time, he received new news from the Iron-Blooded War King: the Three Emperors had gathered a large number of spirit crystals to construct some kind of formation, not because the ancient descendants had arrived early. Upon hearing this news, Yu Kai felt a sense of relief.
The Eastern Region lay desolate, its once vibrant spiritual veins mostly dried up. Many captive humans still lived here. Women were responsible for their livelihoods, toiling away on spiritual crops to eke out a living. Men were forced to work in the mines, where the slightest inattention would lead to merciless beatings by soldiers. Compared to the humans of the Holy Ying Dynasty, the lives of these people here were akin to hell, while those of the Holy Ying Dynasty lived in a kind of paradise. The two formed a stark contrast.
Yu Kai did not stop because of the miserable plight of these people, but went straight to the lair of Emperor Qingwu - the giant city of Lingsen.
From afar, the massive walls of Lingsen City towered majestically, brimming with powerful soldiers, creating a powerful sense of oppression. The interior of the city was like a dream, as if it didn't belong to this world. Faintly visible were the towering buildings of immortal palaces, a truly magnificent sight.
At the city gates, countless generals and soldiers meticulously inspected and questioned those entering and leaving, allowing them to pass only after verification. The majority of those passing through were troops under the Three Emperors, primarily transporting spirit crystals. After over 500 years of intensive mining, vast quantities of spirit crystals had accumulated. These were transported aboard warships using dimensional artifacts, and long lines formed at the city gates, awaiting registration.
Yu Kai soared down from the air, flying with great fanfare towards the city gate. He unleashed the imposing might of the Great Emperor, and instantly, those blocking his path were blown away like leaves caught in a gust of wind. Warships that hadn't yet been reeled in were overturned by the blast he created, and countless soldiers were hurled violently. Wails of pain echoed throughout the city gate.
"Who are you? Stop immediately!" Seeing this, the leading Tianzun peak general shouted sternly, trying to stop Yu Kai from acting recklessly.
"How dare a bunch of slaves stop me?" Yu Kai sneered, and his figure instantly disappeared. When he reappeared, he had already captured the peak-level Tianzun general.
